They have tiny waists, short bodies and short arms - you have to be a skinny munchkin to fit in their clothes - am still gagging to go to Norwich Town Hall Sale though!

i only buy their low waisted stuff which comes up pretty big imo. i don't have a waist so avoid all waisted trews.

I have never fitted my (admittedly wide) waist into a pair of their trews so stoppped ordering from them.
When is the Norwich sale Twinkie1? I quite like their kids clothes...

Also can never get their trousers to fit - have a pair at the moment - 12 was too small so ordered 14 and they're just weird. Don't know whether to alter them.

I don't have a problem with trousers, but I think their tops are designed for short, boxy women. With no norks.

I have a real problem with their skirts and have to buy a size larger. I still have a £70 'right sized' skirt that I bought a couple of years ago, never wore, never sent back and am still hoping that one day with the aid of an elastic band across the gap I will wear.

I found the same. I've only tried to buy trousers from there once in a sale - moleskin jeans, they didn't fit anywhere & had to go back

Waists are definately too tight.

tops too short.

If I measure my waist with a tape measure I am a boden size 18.

Everywhere else I am a 12-14.

Crap

I found their sizing just bizarre. I bought something with a medium waist ... measured myself, checked their measurements ... found I was an 18. Only I knew I was now a 16. Shrugged, bought a 16, and it fit.

I have a tiny waist compared to the rest of me (particularly tummy), though, so maybe I should try them ...

Vulgar, am the same.
According to Boden I am between a 14 and 16 waist , size 12 bust and 10 hips.
Prob why their clothes dont fit me!
I think the but and waist measurements seem tiny in comparison to the hips but then I'm a "COlumn" and Boden must be designed for the Classic English Pear shape, I can only presume....

I am ok in trousers, usually buy a 10 in slouchy or wide leg shapes.Am wearing wide leg jeans from Boden sale atm and have had compliments!
More fitted styles I go to a 12 though.

Isn't it weird?

i have a flat stomach and quite slim hips and thighs but my waist must be quite thick in comparison I suppose.

If I bought tailored trousers from M&S I would be somewhere between a 12 and 14.

I bought a Tankini from Boden and ended up with a 10 in bottoms and a 14 in top. No way Am I THAT top heavy!

boden is starting to piss me off!

guess they must be quite small-waisted. My waist is my only redeeming feature (I have giant Haystacks hips and thighs), and Boden stuff seems to fit better than most, esp. dresses.

what size did you try cod? i have no bottom or hips but a big tum, i've got their slim fit jeans in a 14 and they are far too big in the waist.

WHy are their tops so short? it is so feckign annoying.

Their trousers don't fit me at all .. the skirts are fine but trousers are hopeless. They are either too small on waist in one size or if they fit on the waist they are too big on the hips/thighs .. and I quite like some of them too so very annoying!

Ah... so it's not just me. I found the same problem with their trousers, and too short tops.

they must have problems getting models that they fit too!

well I am a 14 and have their clothes in sizes 10 - 16. Crop trousers particulary small. Skirts very big . Just been to one of their clearance sales near me and I think they do have a problem with their sizing as there was a lot of stock to 'clear' ! Actually gone off their clothes. Very expensive, not that good quality and very boring endless emails and offers from Johnny. Ba humbug.
